Since I have super thin and fine hair, Lauren Conrad-esque curls are beyond my wildest dreams. UNTIL I heard about Redken Spray Starch from a girl in my sorority. This stuff is a God send ladies. Spray onto your strands before you fry it with the iron (the starch has protective properties so your strands arent really getting torched), and the curls hold amazingly. It feels really crunchy when you first spray it, but after curling it the starch is less starchy, but keeps its hold. I bought mine at ULTA but it is available online and at many salons and beauty stores. I hope you love this as much as I do!

Found this. Thought it was cute and wanted to share. I am really loving the bow headband, the bigger the better in my opinion. Forever 21 has the best stuff ever if you can seperate the cheap from the classy. Look at shop by outfit tab and its a goldmine!

When did buying bathing suits get so costly? I strongly believe in the importance of maintaining a large bathing suit wardrobe, consisting of many colors and styles. However, while I am a huge fan of affordable bathing suits, its key to buy an expensive one every summer or so, as they are much better quality. Here is a cute Missoni/Vix style one from Old Navy that I am loving ($15 as of 6.20.09).

ShopBop is trying to sabotage my bank account. I found the CUTEST dress ever and need it. NEED it. Young Fabulous and Broke (hmmm my life? but more broke and less fabulous??). Hit up shopbop and check this cute grey and white t-shirt/ruffle combo. Simple and sweet, would look gorgeous with bronze gladiators, or with ankle booties as pictured. Love it. Order the RaRa Dress and you will be well on your way to channeling Serena Van Der Woodsen.

P.S.- Young Fabulous and Broke have MOUNTAINS of cute clothes. Dying.

Summer is here, and between work and being a lazy bum, I have had little time to tan. I was poking my nasty pale legs the other day and realized its time to make a change. As a former tanorexic (even tanning beds I am ashamed to admit), fake bake seems less than appealing. After hearing from my cousin about Xen Tan I decided to check it out. I adore it. I have tried countless department/drug store concoctions with little luck. I was previously a follower of St. Tropez, but found it made me look dirty and muddy. I put Xen tan on one morning before running errands, and was delighted to find it didnt smell at all like fake tanner (saved me a lot of embarrassment when shopping at LuLuLemon later that day). It comes out an amazing golden brown color, and I had NO streaks! Not one. I am in heaven. For those of you who aren't willing to give up the beds, but ready to start weaning off them, try Benefit Talk To The Tan. Its a gel like temporary fake tanner, meaning it washes off at night with the rest of your make-up. Its been a long time staple of mine. Enjoy!

After starting Taebo at a local gym, I have become workout crazy (weird, I know... I'm just hoping it lasts). Anyway, after talking with a friend and learning that my Nike Shox are horrible for your shins and give your shin splints, I decided its time for some sneaker shopping. Fell in love with the Nike Free 5.0 V4 Womens Running Shoes. Soooo cute and meant to be comfy and supportive. I love them and I need them. Now accepting donations.

After seeing the Hangover last week (peeing my pants hysterical) I became infatuated with this song played in the "morning after" pool scene. After searches and searches I discovered its called What Do You Say? by Mickey Avalon. Buy it. Play it. Love it.

P.S.- difficult to find a playable version...boo hoo

Ped Eggs. Ew so nasty I can't even stand it. Like seriously, shaving off skin from your feet and storing it in a plastic shell is repulsive. Dumping it out is the worst of the worst. I have nightmares about those nasty white shavings. News flash to the inventors of Ped Egg: Making a foot shaver in the shape of an egg DOES NOT make shaving the hard skin off your feet any cuter.

Love It (Marissa Miller Style)

So after reading Marissa Miller's interview in Shape Magazine (June 2009), I decided I would memorize everything she did and hope to look exactly like her. Lets just see how that works out. Anyhow, Marissa seems to have the knack of looking good down, so I ran out and bought some GNU Flavor and Fiber bars (which Marissa says are delish and good for you). They are pretty pricey ($1.99 per bar) but they taste so good! And are full of fiber, which is even better. Each bar packs about 48% of your daily value, which is about the same amount of fiber you get from eating 4 bowls of cheerios! They have a handy comparison chart on the GNU Foods website that compares different fiber bars, and theirs is the clear choice. Hey, if its good enough for Marissa its good enough for me!

Prosecco. Yummmm. Delicious dry white sparkling wine...so elegant and cheaper than champagne (BONUS!). Go out and buy some for your fab selves <3

Currently in search of the perfect matte, nude nail polish...however, in the mean time OPI's Sand In My Suit from the South Beach collection will suffice. A slightly shimmery beige, Sand In My Suit is perfect for summer on tanned hands, with short, groomed nails. Love it!
